Our Team is #SociallySpeaking Across Town!

Tonight Brad spoke with members of the World Entrepreneurs Network (WEN) of Greater Austin about Social Media for Small Business.

Formerly known as the Wilco Entrepreneurs Community, WEN is a chapter of the Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development gathering to help entrepreneurs start and grow their business in the Greater Austin, Texas area.

“We’re the hands on group helping new and young companies grow and connect with the established companies and resources,” said WEN representatives. “We are open to anyone interested in starting, buying, operating, selling or growing a business.”

On Friday, April 27 I had the opportunity to discuss setting a foundation in blogging through the use of Brand Profiling with Austin Content Marketing Meetup group.

This content marketing group meets in an effort to bring together those who know content marketing and those who would like to learn about it together in a collaborative environment.

The Austin Content Marketing Meetup provides an interesting twist to the traditional marketing meeting. Instead of inviting formal speakers to perform “death by PowerPoint,” each invited expert is immediately placed on a “hot seat,” where he or she is immediately peppered by questions from the audience on their particular area of expertise.

The knowledgeable group dug on in some complicated blogging theory and questions creating a lively and quite informative conversation. We look forward to meeting with them again!

The difference between Social Media dabbling and Social Media Marketing is a unified message. As a leader in content strategy for Speak Social, Stephanie adds life – and words – to a brand's goals. She sits down with clients to complete a Brand Profile, otherwise known as the playbook to any Social campaign. She may provide the content, but the voice is all theirs. Stephanie began writing in high school as a co-founder of the first edition of her school newspaper in 20 years. She graduated from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Journalism and minor in Political Science. While in school, she served as Editor-in-Chief of the school’s newspaper, and completed an internship at Fox News in Philadelphia. She moved to Austin after graduating to take a marketing position with a large Federal Credit Union.
Eventually the world moved online to blogs and Social Networking, and her focus shifted.
